I've said before in other threads that I'm skeptical about multiple protagonists

Honestly, I am not a fan of multiple protagonists in a game. I am very skeptical about that because what happens to all the in-game milestones and unlockable rewards you open up with one of the protagonists, for instance? Do you get all set back to zero? Sounds dubious to me. Not saying Rockstar can't pull it off, but this is not what my first choice would be in a GTA game at all.

I think they're going to have their own unlockables and activities, like I don't see Trevor playing golf or Michael dealing drugs.

Having to unlock unique stuff for each character sounds good to me, different experiences instead of always playing as one and then the others get everything unlocked as well.

I think this is the path they'll take. They didn't put 3 protagonists in so they could all do the same stuff. You're playing 3 different characters with 3 different roles, 3 separate takes on the same world. Not 3 different character models that don't have any differentiating factors

Is Trevor supposed to be Hispanic? I got the white trash/redneck kind of feel from reading the article and seeing him in the trailer. I could be wrong, though.

Yeah, maybe it's just because he is dark skinned (too much time in the desert lounging outside his trailer, I imagine) and balding that he reminds me of Diaz from Vice City.

I love how all 3 characters are all different, and all come from different walks of life. Michael is the calm & collected, ex-crook, whereas Trevor is the psychotic loose cannon. The young black chap is the unknown at this point. I'm thinking he'll be chasing the proverbial dollar and like his fast, colourful sports cars!

I figured Michael would be the one desperate for cash, but now he seems more of a washed up OG that is either bored or depressed... I think Franklin is going to be the one to pull the team together into heists and such, even though Michael may be the one to plan them out of experience.

Michael is an OG? Guy looks like he lost his job on Wall Street.

"I been in this game for a lotta years, and I got out alive. If you want my advice, give this shit up."

Sounds like an OG coaxed back into crime to me.

Michael was a big time bank robber or something, but did a deal with the FBI and is now in the Witness Protection Program. So he lives in his mansion with his wife that he hates and his kids that hate him.

Definitely see where you're coming from. Wouldn't have noticed had you not mentioned it though.

I really hope the cover characters are the main pros from GTA3, vice city, and SA.

I would love this more than I love skyrim!

Seriously? Even though the article clearly states they're not.
